Loraine Fielding

Loraine Fielding was a writer. The 1947 Esther Williams Movie, This Time for Keeps, was based on a story by Fielding and Erwin S. Gelsey.

According to the census, she was born c.1912 in New York City, daughter of George & Helen Hornaday Fielding; Helen, daughter of William F.[?] Hornaday, Naturalist. The Family lived on West North St., Stamford, CT. Hornaday was still living there in 1930, but the Fielding family is not listed. William Temple Hornaday was a founder of the New York Zoological Society, now the Wildlife Conservation Society [the Bronx Zoo], author of works on natural history. (Note 2009: The original internet link for Hornaday has disappeared, the above is a Wikipedia page, to be handled with the usual care.)

Two 1932 photographs of Loraine Fielding from the Genthe Collection at The Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs. The title in the photos includes “Address: 20 W. 9th St., Stamford, Connecticut,” but that presumably should read W. North Street.
